BC SPCA is launching a matching campaign to help provide urgently needed care for nine six-week-old puppies who were recently taken into care at the Sea to Sky SPCA location.
All donations up to $100,000 will be matched through a generous gift from Sylvia & Barron.
“We were contacted by a family from a remote community four-and-a-half hours outside of Squamish,” says SPCA Sea to Sky manager Krista Larson.
“With limited access to veterinary services, they were caring for a surprise litter of nine puppies and were seeking the SPCA’s help. We knew we needed to act quickly because travel conditions in the area become treacherous this time of year. Then came the flooding and the road was washed out.”
Luckily the road was re-opened temporarily and BC SPCA officers were able to make the nine-hour return trip to bring the puppies to safety.
The puppies will be in the SPCA’s care for approximately three to four weeks before they will be ready for adoption.
“Helping these puppies is just one example of why our donors and their generosity matters so much,” says Tess Repenning, senior manager of digital giving for the BC SPCA.
”We really hope people will consider making a donation that will have twice the impact for animals in need with this matching opportunity.”
